Good Friday Procession on Brooklyn Bridge Draws Cardinals, Faithful

Religious New Yorkers participated in a procession over the Brooklyn Bridge to remember Good Friday, the day Christians believe Jesus died on the cross.

The event drew New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Brooklyn Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio and dozens of participants.

The event followed a theme of the Stations of the Cross, meant to represent key points in Jesus’s path to his crucifixion. The first station was at St. James Cathedral in Brooklyn, the fourth was near the World Trade Center on Cedar Street and the final station was at St. Peter’s Church on Barclay Street in Manhattan.

Jonathan Fromm, of Brooklyn, carries the cross over the Brooklyn Bridge.
